Flight Management System Market Worth $912.20 Million By 2020

Annual Growth Rate Over Seven Percent Forecast By Analysts

The global Flight Management System Market is estimated to be $601.36 million in 2014 to register a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.19% to reach $912.20 million by 2020, according to new research published by MarketsandMarkets.

Flight management systems can be classified into four segments according to the cockpit architecture of different types of commercial aircraft. These four segments include very large aircraft, wide body aircraft, narrow body aircraft, and regional transport aircraft. All these aircraft are equipped with two flight management systems that perform the ideal functions. The average cost of a flight management system differs according to the functional and performance parameters required by different aircraft. The FMS market in a particular region depends upon the number of aircraft deliveries in the said area, as well as the aircraft maintenance activities in that particular region.

Despite the slow global economic growth and increase in aircraft fuel cost, the demand for new aircraft deliveries will swell and the demand for flight management systems will intensify, being a subset of an aircraft. Advanced flight management systems perform a wide variety of tasks right from providing an accurate flight plan for a smooth flight operation to efficient aircraft fuel utilization. These are some functional capabilities of FMS that are expected to fuel its growing market demand in the near future.

The development of new and advanced flight management systems has meant that almost every aircraft can now be modified to improve its operational efficiency for better flight operations. In challenging economic times, airlines are constantly looking at ways in which they can add value and extend the life span of their aircraft. Up gradation of aircraft with efficient flight management systems provide it with the ability to fly more fuel efficiently, such as using RNP (Required Navigation Performance) and continuous descent that can translate into measurable fuel and time savings for airlines, along with reduced pilot workload and enhanced safety.

The retrofit market of flight management systems for wide body aircraft is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.96% from 2014 to 2020. The growing demand for aircraft deliveries and continuous increasing passenger traffic across the world is the prime region for this growth. However, there are many challenges involved in equipping new flight management systems in the cockpit of an aircraft, such as the presence of a long development life cycle from equipment design to certification of FMS, and the need for well-developed testing and certification programs. The retrofit FMS designs need to follow the same rigor as the originally developed systems on the aircraft. Also, its proper integration must take into account all of the constraints and dependencies while interfacing with existing equipment.

The rapidly increasing passenger traffic rate across the world will require safety operations of the fleets that operate in this region. The NEXTGEN FMS is capable of adhering to those safety needs by automating flight operations that include flight plan and fuel management that are very necessary for the regional transport aircraft. These factors will raise the market growth of FMS in this segment.

The flight management systems market for narrow body aircraft is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.18% from 2014 to 2020. The Asia-Pacific region is projected to dominate the FMS market in this category; it holds the maximum share of the flight management system for wide body aircraft, but the Middle East is the fastest growing region in this segment.
